Have you ever just sat back and wondered what it would be like to have someone you care for be here one day and then next be across the county or on the other side of the world? Barely ever hearing from them and dealin with jealous people running their mouths. Its the hardest thing for a person to do. But when you fall for a soldier theres nothing more that can be done. When he gets deployed or relocated all you can do is sit back and wait for the time when he gets leave again. The days are long but nights are even longer. Not knowing what is going on with him or if hes okay...Praying each night that God will bring him home safely. Wishin every minute of the day you could just reach out and touch his face or even just hear his voice. Not knowing for sure when the next time either will happen. Just being strong enough to hold on while hes so far away is hard. But then you get people who dont want one of you happy and you have to deal with it almost totally alone because you dont want them to worry about the things going on back home. Sometimes you sit and wonder if you can make it through until your in his arms again...but then you sit and remember all the good times together and know you can. The kiss you will get when he gets home will make everything so worth the wait. Even though you know hes not going to be home for long. Maybe a week or two before he has to leave again. Trying to spend as much time with him as you can yet knowing he needs time with family and friends without you. Theres nothing harder then loving a soldier...we are the ones who are forgotten about seein we are back home. Yet even when our men are out there we are just as scared back home. We may not be risking our lives but we are risking our hearts to support those who are risking their lives. Our job is just as hard as thiers just in a different way. We are the silent ranks...the girlfriends, fiances, and wifes of the military men fighting for this country.
